This will enable employers in Calder Valley to have access to the skills they need from around the world, while ensuring net migration is reduced to sustainable levels.

There will be a new visa route for skilled workers, no cap for professions such as doctors and engineers and no limit on the number of international students coming to our world class universities – who will be able to stay for up to 12 months after graduation to find employment.

“We will welcome talented and hardworking people who can support our economy, while bringing immigration down to sustainable levels and making sure we are training people up here in Calder Valley

“For the first time in decades, we will have full control over who comes here.”

Home Secretary, Sajid Javid said: “We are delivering on the clear instruction to get control over our borders and will bring in a new system that works in the interest of the British people. It will be a single, skills-based immigration system built around the talent and expertise people can bring, rather where they come from – maximising the benefits of immigration and demonstrating the UK is open for business.”
